The Relationship

This paper concerns the impact of social work research, particularly on practice and practitioners. It explores the politics of research and how this affects practice, the way that university-based research understands practice, and some recent developments in establishing practice research as an integral and permanent part of the research landscape. While focusing on implications for the UK, it draws on developments in research across Europe, North America and Australasia to explore how we can improve the relationship between research and practice.

The Impact

The impact that large mammalian carnivores can have on the abundance of their ungulate prey remains contentious and achieving scientific consensus has proved elusive. Several studies in temperate latitudes in North America have documented how increases in the abundance of wolves have been associated with declines in the abundance of certain large ungulate species, and vice versa. In contrast, in African savanna ecosystems in both southern and eastern Africa, variations in the abundance of ungulate populations seem to be primarily associated with fluctuations in rainfall affecting vegetation growth and consequent food availability for herbivores. In this review, I will explain how the functional mechanisms operating in these distinct ecosystems are basically similar, despite contrasts in their diversity of predators and prey. I will describe how predation constrains the abundance of African savanna herbivores, despite resource controls over their population dynamics. For case histories I will draw particularly on findings from South Africa’s Kruger National Park, where the most comprehensive information is available.

Indications from the first half of the year suggested that the present cyclical expansion was starting to slow in much of the OECD. The pace of activity moderated particularly sharply in North America. Canadian GDP fell slightly in the second quarter of the year and inventory levels rose considerably. Trade growth was also lower than expected, although this partially reflected the regional impact of recent developments in Mexico. Within Europe, GDP growth slowed in the UK, France and Italy, although growth proved unexpectedly robust in a number of the smaller economies, particularly Ireland, Sweden and Finland. Output also continued to grow sharply in Australia and South East Asia.

The discrimination experienced by women in sport in North America has been well documented (e.g., Hall, 1987; Lenskyj, 1986; Uhlir, 1987), and the gains made in the last two decades owe much to the efforts of feminists, both inside and outside sport. However, the situation of lesbians in sport has only recently received attention in academic and professional sport circles, and then only as one aspect of sportswomen’s private lives for which they are subjected to discrimination. And although feminist scholarship of the 1970s and 1980s has investigated the political implications of lesbianism in considerable depth, the specific concerns of lesbians in sport contexts have for the most part been neglected. This paper examines the discrimination faced by lesbians in sport and develops a radical feminist analysis of these experiences. Recent developments in national sports organizations in North America are presented as case studies and analyzed in terms of their political perspective and potential.
